Reduce carbon emissions significantly — potentially up to 100%.
CogniTek MarineIf we told you…
A ship could dramatically reduce its carbon emissions—
while also lowering operating costs—
Would you want to know how?

THE OPPORTUNITY
What if cutting emissions
also cut operating costs?
Reduce — and eventually eliminate — carbon-emission penalties.
Put ocean shipping in the lead on transportation sustainability.
Lower operating costs for the ship operator.
THE APPROACH
Hydrogen at the point of use.
Produced onboard from LNG.
THE CORE ADVANTAGEConvert LNG onboard and deliver hydrogen directly to compatible propulsion and power systems.No hydrogen storage.
No hydrogen bunkering.
No hydrogen bunkering.
LNG
A fuel already used across a growing modern marine fleet
Onboard conversion system
Converts LNG onboard and produces hydrogen at the point of use.
Useful outputs
Hydrogen
Produced onboard for compatible propulsion and power systems
Recovered carbon
Captured onboard for port offloading and commercial value
Clean water
Available for shipboard use
LNG in. Hydrogen, recovered carbon, and clean water out.
THE OPERATOR PAYOFF
Two economic levers.
Compliance. Recovered carbon.
The onboard conversion system keeps carbon out of the atmosphere and recovers it as a valuable material. That changes both sides of the operating equation.
Money no longer paid
Reducing carbon emissions reduces the allowances, fees, and emission penalties attached to releasing carbon into the atmosphere.
Value newly recovered
Carbon captured onboard becomes a commercial material stream—creating value that can be returned to vessel operations through carbon sales and fuel-cost recovery.
Lower operating costs=Reduced emission penalties+Recovered carbon value
MARITIME APPLICATIONS
One system.
Across the ships that move the world.
From modern ferries and LNG-ready cruise vessels to newbuilds and commercial fleets, the CogniTek Onboard Conversion System turns lower emissions into a direct operating advantage.
Ferries
Why it fits
Modern LNG ferries combine large platforms, major-port operations, predictable routes, frequent calls, and vehicle-deck access—supporting onboard carbon storage and direct removal by truck.
Operator advantage
A practical path to lower emissions, reduce penalty exposure, and recover carbon value across a large, accessible vessel market.
Existing cruise vessels
Why it fits
LNG-ready cruise ships combine sustained propulsion and hotel loads with a growing fleet base—creating a compelling emissions and operating-cost case.
Operator advantage
Bring lower emissions, reduced penalty exposure, and recovered carbon value to vessels already equipped for LNG.
Container & commercial shipping
Why it fits
High-utilization vessels and established cargo-port logistics support efficient carbon transfer and broad application across global fleets.
Operator advantage
Scale lower emissions, reduced penalty exposure, and recovered carbon value across the ships that carry world trade.
Cruise newbuilds
Why it fits
New vessels can integrate the CogniTek system, controls, maintenance access, carbon containment, and offloading into the ship from the beginning.
Operator advantage
Purpose-built integration captures the full emissions and economic advantage from the first voyage.
THE VALUE OF CARBON
Carbon is not a waste stream.
It is an industrial feedstock.
A single material platform can connect to a broad ecosystem of high-value industrial applications.

GLOBAL IMPACT
One ocean.
A worldwide industrial system.
Maritime trade connects every major economy. Applying cleaner onboard energy across global shipping lanes can reduce emissions at industrial scale, lower the cost burden of carbon compliance, and strengthen the efficiency of the transportation system that moves world commerce.
